Speech of the Mother :
KABIT
They had taken all the comforts with them and giving us great agony, they have left us to see also the agony of the death of king Dasrath.
The king ram, seeing and listening to all this, is not softening, O Ram! accept now whatever we say, please tell, who is the survivor Lord here?
O Ram! take the reins of kingdom and do all the work. Tell us, why are you going now?
O exiled Ram in the garb of an ascetic and taking Janaki (Sita) with you, why are you giving me sadness?265.
I shall also put on the black garb leaving the country of the king, and becoming an ascetic, I shall accompany you.
I shall leave the family practice and abandon the royal splendour, but shall not turn my face away from you.
I shall wear the rings in the ear and smear the ashes over my body. I shall live in persistence, O my son! I shall forsake all the royal paraphernalia.
I shall adopt the garb of a yogi, and leaving Kaushal (country), I shall go with the king Ram.266.
APOORAV STANZA
Ram, the abode of religious action, went to the forest alongwith Lakshman and Janaki (Sita).267.
On that side the father breathed his last and left for heaven in and air-vehicle of gods. On this side, the ministers reflected on the situation.268.
The advice of vasishtha, the eminent Brahmin amongst all the Brahmins, was accepted. A letter was written and sent to Magadh.269.
A very brief discussion was held and several fast-moving messengers like Hanuman were sent.270.
Ten messengers, who were specialist in their task, were searched and sent to the place where Bharat resided.271.
Those messengers delivered the message and told that the king Dasrath had died, Bharat read the letter and accompanied them.272.
The anger blazed in his mind and the sense of Dharma and respect disappeared from it. They left Kashmir (and started on return journey) and began to remember the Lord.273.
The brave hero Bharat reached Oudh and saw the king Dasrath as dead.274.
Speech of Bharat addressed to Kaikeyi :
“O mother! when you saw that the worst had happened and then you called your son you must be reproached, I feel ashamed. 275.
